Seeing Xu Xian reluctantly put the fish back into the fish basket, Cheng Han opened his mouth again to stop the elm head.

"When I went, there were people in the neighboring village catching fish there, so if you don't believe me, you can ask. ”

Hearing him say this, Xu Xian immediately grinned, "Believe it, I believe it." ”

He carried the fish into the house to get busy, and Cheng Han then entered the house and saw three baked potatoes in the broken bowl on the table.

He stretched out his hand to test the temperature, it was almost cold, turned around and frowned and asked Xu Xian, "Why haven't you eaten?"

Xu Xian took it for granted: "I'll wait for my eldest brother to come back and eat together." ”

Cheng Han pursed his lips, and his tone suddenly became much gentler: "You don't have to wait for me in this situation in the future." ”

Xu Xian wanted to ask why, but Cheng Han went out to find a jar, and found some sand and yellow mud to concentrate on tinkering there.

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

He put down what he was doing and leaned over slowly.

Cheng Han took out the snake egg that had been wrapped in advance, and opened the silk handkerchief layer by layer: "Na, I brought you a baby." ”

"What kind of egg is this? It looks a little different from what I usually see. ”

Xu Xian's big eyes blinked, shining with curiosity.

Cheng Han put the egg into the jar and covered it with a damp cloth, "You'll know when it hatches." ”

Can this hatch too? Don't you have to squat in the nest like a hen does......

Xu Xian couldn't believe it, "Big brother, how long will this last?"

"The incubation conditions are suitable, and the time is generally about 1~2 months. ”

Xu Xian was dumbfounded, stared at the egg and muttered, "It's been so long." ”

Seeing his lack of interest, Cheng Han changed his words, "But some time has passed when I picked it up, if you take care of it, maybe it will be able to hatch in half a month." ”

"Really?"

Xu Xian's eyes lit up, and he chattered excitedly while holding the jar: "I don't know what kind of bird it hatches." ”

I have seen Uncle Qian in the village raise a colorful parrot before, and the birds follow him wherever he goes, and he can also speak, and he is very angry.

"Big brother, tell me quickly, what else do you need to pay attention to?"

Xu Xian humbly asked Cheng Han for the trick of hatching eggs like a treasure.

No. 1 didn't know what Cheng Han's calculations were, and silently prayed for Xu Xian in his heart.

If this egg does hatch, it will be a little sad......

The night is bright and the stars are sparse, and the evening breeze is blowing.

Occasionally, a few dog barks broke the silence of the night, Cheng Han put his hands behind his head, lying on his back on the grass and looking at the dark night sky, his eyes were gloomy.

"Host, what are you thinking?"

Don't sleep at night, waiting for sudden death?

Cheng Han thought back to the situation when he arrived in the Black Marsh Forest during the day, and suddenly sat up, "When I went to the Snake Forest today, I found that the seal of the formation outside was gradually weakening. ”

In other words, if you continue to let it go like this, the youkai inside will break through the ban and run out sooner or later.

He turned his head to look at the village in the night, the silence of the night, dotted with warm candlelight.

In fact, No. 1 was also aware of this early in the morning, and was ready to remind him when Cheng Han came back.

Inside is a thousand-year-old snake demon, fierce and cruel, in order to take shortcuts, use human blood as a sacrifice, and practice the forbidden art of crooked and evil ways.

It has been sealed in it for a hundred years by the Taoist who passed by, and it should have been sealed and slept here, but this time it is estimated that it has absorbed the power of the adult's soul element, and it is ready to move again.

No. 1 said solemnly: "You are not the opponent of the big demon now, take Xu Xian to leave here first." ”

"Leave?" Cheng Han chuckled lightly, "I will have to take the snake demon's soul element sooner or later, and it is not my style to escape." ”

Listen to what he means, is he planning to do the right thing for heaven?

In its mind, the host is not a compassionate benevolent.

Number 1 was not sure what he was thinking, and asked, "Then what are your plans?"

The young man turned over and sat up from the haystack and patted the crumbs on his hands: "I can't understand that formation for the time being, so I have to find a master to learn the art first." ”

"Big brother, have you finished feeding the cows? It's dark outside, let's get inside. ”

Xu Xian stood at the door and rubbed his eyes sleepily, and whispered to him: "I have to go to the mountain to collect medicine tomorrow morning, can you come with me?"

The day after tomorrow is the day of the market, Dr. Wang of Jishengtang ordered a batch of new herbs, he has already picked them in the back mountain, and he needs to go to the depths of the forest to find them again, and he is a little scared alone.

"Good. ”

Cheng Han agreed too simply, which made Xu Xian slightly stunned.

This time, I didn't let him buy a new book in exchange for it.。

"Rest early. ”

Cheng Han walked to the simple wooden bed, on which only a layer of straw and a thin quilt were laid, just enough for the two stunted children to lie down.

However, Xu Xian tidied up the house very cleanly, at least so that Cheng Han couldn't find anything wrong for a while.

Xu Xian turned off the light, groped his way to the corner of the bed, curled up in a ball, and left most of the space for Xu Xian.

"You can sleep better. ”

The black shadow next to him moved, and said in a daze: "No, you are going to kick people when you are asleep......"

Cheng Han: "......"

Number 1: "......"

The next day, Xu Xian was awakened by the smell of food, and he walked to the table barefoot, half-asleep, and the tip of his nose moved.

Three dishes and one soup are set on the table, as well as hot white rice.

"Am I dreaming?"

Xiao Xu pinched his face vigorously, and immediately burst into tears.

Cheng Han came in from outside at this time, his clothes were stained with morning dew, and he poured out the medicinal materials in the back basket.

"I don't know what kind of ones you want, according to the expensive and cheap ones in the pharmacy, I have picked some of them, can you see enough?"

Seeing Xiao Xu in a trance, Cheng Han stirred up the hot water in the pot, wrung out the towel and threw it in his face.

The latter was caught off guard and stumbled a few steps and almost fell, and No. 1 immediately cried out in distress like a calf: "What are you doing, will you wipe the child's face?" ”

Cheng Han: "......"

After Xu Xian washed his face, he sobered up a lot.

He was anxious at the cooking table, saw the braised fish, fried shredded potatoes, stewed tofu, and green vegetable soup on the table, and picked up the chopsticks tremblingly.

Cheng Han sandwiched a piece of fish meat for him, took out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Xu Xian, "I have already taken the cow to Uncle Chen's house, this is the money he borrowed from the cow to plough the land, you can save it." ”

Xiao Xu held the copper coin, took two mouthfuls of rice, and the tears smashed to the table like broken threads.

"Big brother, you are suddenly so good to me, is it because I have a terminal illness and am about to die......"

Cheng Han twitched the corner of his mouth without leaving a trace, "Don't think nonsense." ”

He pondered for a moment, and then continued: "I went out to inquire this morning, there is a Yunlai Taoist temple on Qingcheng Mountain that is very famous, and it just so happens that they are going to recruit new disciples recently, so I decided to go and worship the Qingfeng Daoist there as a teacher." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Xian raised his head with red eyes, and suddenly there was no sound.
